UFC FIGHT NIGHT: POIRIER VS. JOHNSON, FROM HIDALGO, TX

UFC Fight Pass at 7 p.m. Eastern

Albert Morales (135) vs. Alejandro Perez (135)

Rd1: Morales was more active, connected more, and had octagon control, but barely won the round. 10-9 Morales. After the horn, both men threw extra shots.

Rd2: Basically the same round. 10-9 Morales. The story here is that the ref took a point from Perez for again throwing after the horn, but both men were equally guilty. That makes my score 20-17 for Morales, and Perez must finish. It's also possible the judges scored this round for Perez.

Rd3: The ref decided to take the point right before round three began. It was really odd. Morales unloaded about half way, which included a running knee to the head of Perez which was clearly illegal but the ref did nothing. Morales was never really close to finishing actually. Perez won this round in my book 10-9, making my score a 29-27 in favor of Morales.

Peach Pits: That ref blew it twice. That was bad, but I'm fine with a draw. Neither deserved a win.

Randy Brown (171) vs. Erick Montano (171)

Rd1: Brown is sporting some green trunks. I thought they only let Brazilians wear green. Stann starts talking about the grind of the wrestling clinch, which always makes me laugh. Nothing happened for four minutes. That's how hard it is to lay on each other on the cage. I guess Brown won this round but this is one of those 0-0 rounds that shouldn't actually have a winner. 10-9 Brown.

Rd2: Montano got a takedown and Brown closed his guard. Montano lands a hard shot from the top. Brown is working from the bottom but hasn't come close. Brown grabbed the cage a bunch of time with his his fingers and toes and was given a lot of leeway. Montano held him in side control and attacked for submissions. Montano 10-9.

Rd3:Montanto was having his nostrils held open by his corner man. Brown hooked up a guillotine on a Montano mistake. He stuck his head in there and Brown got the proper grip, hooked his legs and Montano had to tap.

Official Decision: Randy Brown wins by submission at 18 seconds of round 3.

Peach's Portrait: Brown has a lot of potential. I'm glad he got the win. He called out "fucking what's his name, Bryan Barbarena." HA!

Fox Sports 1 at 8 p.m. Eastern

Joey Gomez (135) vs. Jose Quinonez (134.5)

Rd1: Quinonez rocked him and went for a finish midway through but Gomez came back and came close as well. Quinonez 10-9.

Rd2: Quinonez has been training with Hendo. Guess who I want to win? Stann is now 3 for 3 in talking about the grueling nature of the cage grind. IT'S LITERALLY THE POINT IN THE MATCH WHEN THEY ARE RESTING! Everyone sees that. Stop selling it like it's excting. Gomez lands and looks to finish! Q is in trouble! He holds on. Both men back on the feet.

Rd3: Q knocked him down and closed the distance again. Now he ends up on top in full mount. Gomez is in trouble. Q has his back and is looking to get under the chin. Now Gomez gets his back on the mat and is able to sweep and stand up. Nicely done. Gomez has to finish. Gomez has nothing left. Q is dancing. He knows he won this fight. 10-9 Quinonez. 30-27 Quinonez.

Official Result: Jose Quinonez wins by unanimous decision on scores of 29-28, 30-27, and 30-27.

Peach's Pinch: We need some finishes or this this card is going to end at 2 am, which I guess will be pretty early compared to when Bisping and Hendo will be fighting. I hope both just woke up.

Antonio Carlos Jr. (185) vs. Leonardo Guimaraes (186)

Rd1: AC had a point taken away for an illegal knee. Then LG grabbed the cage and was warned. Stann about died. Carlos 10-9.

Rd2: Ronda Rousey sure comes off as petty in that thumb wrestling commercial. LG ends up on the ground and Carlos has his back. He is content to wait and strike and let Guimaraes make a mistake. LG fights back to his feet and then gets put on his butt. Possible 10-8 but I'll go 10-9 Carlos.

Rd3: LG comes out winging. Carlos shoots for a takedown, but it's stuffed. He shoots again and LG hooks a guillotine but Carlos just takes his time and works out. Another cage holding warning and Stann remarks on it again. It's driving him mad. Carlos gets the takedown and plants him. He takes his back and works to choke. AND LG TAPS!

Official Result: Antonio Carlos Jr. wins by submission at 4:46 of round 3.

Peach Positive: Carlos Junior didn't do himself any favors by taking almost 15 minutes to submit his inferior opponent. He needed to make a statement, and he did not. It was a boring mauling. Nothing to be proud of, Russ.

Augusto Montano (170.5) vs. Belal Muhammad (170.5)

Rd1: Montano has some wicked red and black hair. There was an eye poke warning for each guy. Muhammad landed more. Nothing really did much damage. 10-9 Muhammad.

Rd2: I'm also watching USC vs. Stanford. The old school running game of Stanford is cool. Muhammad got a takedown and landed some elbows. Now he has Montanos back and looks to finish. Both guys landing, but neither with much of an edge. Muhammad landed more at the end. 10-9 Muhammad.

Rd3: Muhammad stayed on top most of the round and got the ground and pound TKO finish when Herb Dean jumped in.

Official Result: Belal Muhammad wins by TKO at 4:19 of round 3.

Peach's Paraphrasing: This was a big showing for Muhammad. I'm impressed. He could have played it safe but he went for the finish. I always appreciate that.

Gabriel Benitez (145.5) vs. Sam Sicilia (146)

Rd1: Sicilia was landing but Benitez was landing really hard inside leg kicks that made Sicilia start to make mistakes. Really close round. Benitez 10-9.

Rd2: That Yellow M&M is ridiculous. Get a clue buddy. Benitez knocks him down and starts landing elbows but Sicilia fights him off. Back on the feet the trade. Benitez makes Sicilia go to sleep with a guillotine! Amazing performance.

Official Result: Gabriel Benitez wins by technical submission at 1:20 of round 2.

Peach's Pincushion: Excellent job by Benitez. He dominated everything. He made Sicilia look like he shoulc be fighting CM Punk next.

Maximo Blanco (145.5) vs. Chas Skelly (146)

Rd1: Chas Skelly gets the submission almost immediately. It was an anaconda choke. Blanco went out.

Official Result: Chas Skelly wins by submission at 19 seconds of round 1.

Peach's Pop-Tart: Skelly needed that one.

Chris Wade vs. Islam Makhachev

Stevie J taking over as Peach had a computer malfunction. 12-1, 155.5, Russia born is Islam Makachev. 11-2, 156 pounds, New York born is Chris Wade. Our referee is Dan Miragliotta. Chris Wade ends up on top in a scramble at 1:50 after Makhachev got him down early. Makhachev is going for either a triangle or an arm off his back. Wade needs to pull out quick or he's in big trouble. BTW he's in the blue trunks and Makhachev the black. Wade tries to hammerfist his way out with his right hand but Makhachev is not giving up. Miragliotta warns Makhachev to get his toes out of the fence as he finally lets go of the submission attempt. Wade stays on top for the remainder of the round but doesn't come close to a finish.

Wade comes out firing kicks. Makhachev runs into a left hand going for a single leg and Wade locks up a guillotine in the process. Makhachev gives a thumbs up to Miragliotta to let him know he's not out cold. Makhachev sweeps his way to the top as Wade lets go. Wade counters and Makhachev counters again. Makhachev takes side control and Wade gives up his back trying to get back up. Makhachev gets one hook in with Wade fighting him all the way. 90 seconds left. Wade gets to his knees goes for a double and Makhachev counters and takes the back again. Both fighters attempt to lock up a leg late and it's a stalemate. It's also one on the scorecards as I give Wade R1 and Makhachev R2.

Makhachev pushes forward, drops levels, and gets a takedown at 52 seconds. Miragliotta is unimpressed and calls for more work. Wade goes for a full mount in a scramble, Makhachev stands up, Wade goes for a guillotine and Makhachev pushes his head free. Wade is warned not to put his toes in the cage. Makhachev is laying on top and not doing a lot until he gets full mount at 2:52 and transitions to the back with a tight body lock. The crowd is booing loudly at 3:38 as Makhachev doesn't seem eager to find a finish and Wade doesn't seem able to find an escape. Makhachev starts throwing some right hands from behind but Hidalgo is impatient after that exciting last fight. (BTW PEACH FORGOT TO MENTION that Skelly knocked his opponent down with a HULK HOGAN BIG BOOT and even called it as much in his post-fight interview.) Makhachev is going to take a decision when we come back from commercial to hear from the judges.

All three judges score it 29-28 for Islam Makhachev. Yay. Makhachev even admitted he "played it safe" in his post-fight interview. Not the way for an otherwise impressive 13-1 fighter to win over fans.

Kenny Robertson vs. Roan Carneiro

Kenny Robertson is 170.5 and Carneiro is 171 for this fight. Black trunks for Robertson, 15-4, fighting out of Washington, Illinois. Yellow trunks for Carneiro, 20-10, fighting out of Atlanta, Georgia. The referee is Kerry Hatley. Carneiro gets double underhooks and it goes to the ground, but Robertson scrambles and gets back to his feet. Carneiro puts him right back on the fence and Robertson throws a knee. Carneiro responds in kind. Robertson's hands are down low around his waist but he connects with an overhand right. Carneiro lands a body kick. 3 minutes gone. Carneiro telegraphs a backfist and Robertson backs away. Left hand by Carneiro. Head kick by Robertson. Carneiro grabs Robertson but can't keep him on the fence. Both men duck each other's big shots as Robertson backs him up to the cage. Carneiro circles out with 25 seconds left but then starts going straight backward again and eats a right. The crowd is getting impatient again as the horn ends R1.

Carneiro lands a nice overhand right, and shotly thereafter gets a solid takedown at 50 seconds. Robertson sweeps on top at 1:22. Carneiro goes for a leg and Robertson escapes and is back in full guard at 2:56. Carneiro sweeps on top into full mount at 3:55. If you like the human chess game this is really the fight for you. If you like excitement and finishing moments or actual finishes the first two rounds definitely won't be your cuppa.

Carneiro gets a takedown at 29 seconds but Robertson pops up immediately. Crowd is booing less than a minute later. They're booing with under 90 seconds left too. Robertson is the aggressor for whatever that's worth but he just doesn't land a lot of good strikes - Carneiro may land more with counter shots but only just. Carneiro goes for a takedown at 4:39 and doesn't get it. This is the most skippable fight of the entire night. No need to watch a replay if you didn't see it live.

Well the judges had to pick somebody to win it so here's what they had to say: 29-28 Robertson, 30-27 Carneiro, 29-28 for Carneiro by split decision. The crowd is not impressed. I'd actually rather watch the Makhachev fight again after that one.

Evan Dunham vs. Rick Glenn

Rick Glenn is 154.5 and Dunham is 156 for this fight. Glenn is 18-3-1 in the black trunks and fights out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dunham is in the blue trunks and fights out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Our referee in charge is Jacob Montalvo. Dunham gets a double leg 50 seconds in and is on top in guard. Glenn tries to get up but Dunham gets the back with both hooks in and tries to soften Glenn up with under two minutes to go. Dunham tries to get under the chin with 1:25 left but Glenn is able to escape. Dunham gets on top in half guard at the horn. 10-9 Dunham.

Glenn comes forward circling his hands and lands a few good shots then sprawls to avoid a takedown, but Dunham gets the second one at 28 seconds. Glenn does land a few good elbows off his back and stays busy with upkicks until Dunham passes to side control and goes for a d'arce choke. Glenn rolles and escapes at 1:07 but Dunham gets right back on top. Glenn gets up at 1:25. Dunham pushes him into the fence and as they battle for head position Dunham lands left hands and a knee to the body, then he takes the back to fire off more knees and look for a leg trip. Glenn gets free at 2:38. Dunham throws a head kick. Dunham catches a kick and takes Glenn to the ground but he gets up at 3:24. Both men are trading hands but Glenn is the one coming forward. Dunham hits a combo at 4:16 but misses a takedown. Dunham is bleeding from behind his left ear on the scalp as Montalvo calls for time as Glenn took a shot to the cup. Dunham is probably ahead on the judges' cards but there's an outside chance it's a round apiece. There's an equal chance to that Dunham got a 10-8 in the first round.

Two minutes into R3 and no significant advantage gained but both men are opening up. Dunham lands a knee and Glenn says bring it and the crowd in Hidalgo pops for it. Glenn's corner is calling for pressure and elbows. Dunham is throwing good kick and strike combos. He eats a head kick at 3:40 and once again says "bring it" with his hands up and gets caught as he does so. It looks like he's getting tagged but just won't fall. He eats another head kick at 4:14. They are going toe to toe with 35 seconds left and the crowd loves it. Glenn wobbles from a right hand with under 20 to go. Dunham with a late takedown and an armbar attempt right at the horn. I think Dunham sealed the win in R3.

All three judges score it 30-27 for Evan Dunham. I'm slightly disappointed that Glenn didn't even get one round from one judge but he certainly went in there and represented himself well in his UFC debut.

Derek Brunson vs. Uriah Hall

Here are your key stats courtesy Bruce Buffer. 15-3, ranked #10, 186 pounds and fighting out of Wilmington, North Carolina in the black trunks is Brunson. 13-6, ranked #9, 185.5 pounds and fighting out of Queens, New York in the green trunks is Uriah Hall. Our referee in charge is Herb Dean. BRUNSON FINISHES HIM WITH HIS HANDS AT 1:41. Hall thinks it was stopped early but he got dropped and only popped up to his feet after it was over. I'm gonna rewind and look at it a second time. Brunson landed the left hand clean, Hall's head snapped back, and he fell backward out of his own control. With Brunson pouring on damage on top it's hard to argue Dean made the wrong call even though Hall popped up so quick.

Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Johnson

Main event time! 27 to 30, 5'9" to 5'10", 156 to 154.5 and 72" to 73.5" reach from #7 Poirier to #10 Johnson. Dan Miragliotta is our referee in charge. Johnson has on the blue trunks and Poirier has on the black. Let's do this! And OUR SECOND FIGHT IN A ROW ENDS BY TKO THANKS TO MICHAEL JOHNSON. Right hook to the chin, left hook behind the ear, ground and pound, Miragliotta waves it off, it's over. Official time forthcoming.
